If Iran gets nuclear weapons, it could potentially deliver them not only using land-based ballistic missiles, but by ship-fired cruise missiles, one of the top Iran nuclear experts has told the Jerusalem Post.

In a new book, Iran’s Perilous Pursuit of Nuclear Weapons, obtained first exclusively by the Post, Institute for Science and International Security president David Albright and researcher Sarah Burkhard say that, “The most straightforward way to dramatically reduce Iran’s prospects of building nuclear weapons is to focus on the nuclear explosive production and nuclear weaponization pillars.”

Part of the reason that the focus should shift to IAEA inspections of weaponization, notes the book, is because realistically, “The elimination of the [nuclear] delivery system pillar is more difficult to thwart because Iran has so many options for delivering nuclear weapons, ranging from ballistic missiles to cruise missiles to ships.”

Generally, a ship-based cruise missile nuclear weapon option for Iran has not been discussed much to date.

Further, Albright writes that, “Negotiations should aim to limit ballistic missiles, but it should be recognized that eliminating this pillar in its entirety is impossible,” given years of Western complacency and Iranian progress on the issue.

Before even getting to some other powerful revelations, Albright’s book in some ways upends the entire way that Iran hawks (of which Albright is one of the more prominent in the camp) view the nuclear issue.

Conventionally, the fight over US policy toward the Islamic Republic divides into those who are pro or anti returning to the 2015 nuclear deal, including lifting Trump administration era sanctions for Tehran returning to the deal’s nuclear limitations.

Albright has pointed out holes in the 2015 deal for years, but is also a realist.

Given the Biden administration’s posture, Albright explores how the US and other interested countries could try to head off Iran from getting a nuclear weapon even if some of its “nuclear pillars” are not blocked as much as he might hope.

Put simply, if the Biden team returns to the 2015 deal, how could Iran still be contained?

One of the punch-lists of Iran critics has been that the 2015 deal did not have teeth for limiting Iran’s ballistic missile program.

Albright would have wanted this program limited years ago. READ MORE
